And I've spent a good portion of my day today flapping my crutches out in the front yard. @Rockskipper said that if I did so, I could fly to China, but after a full day of trying, I don't seem to be getting any lift, and I've noticed that my arms are starting to fatigue.

Scatty, you misunderstood me. I didn’t say fly, I said dig.

A wasted day of flapping then. Will the Chinese be impressed by my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu skills? Or do they just want my camera collection too?

I think they may want your kilt collection.

Who are these people, and why do they keep popping up on our fall desert trips?

Actually, unlike the totally by chance encounters of the two previous Octobers, we made plans to meet up and enjoyed four great days of camping and hiking together!

Four weeks down and two more weeks to go. The knee is still swollen and painful, though not as painful as it was after surgery, or even two weeks ago. I'm still not allowed to bend my knee more than 100 degrees, but I have been riding the stationary bike daily, usually somewhere between 30 and 50 minutes in the easiest gear which offers almost no resistance. I'm looking forward to being able to walk normally again.



Two more weeks!

It's amazing how fast I've gotten out of shape since the surgery.

You can bend and are free of the brace? those are good things. This prolonged good weather means you can crutch around without having to worry about ice or snow too.

We’re so far behind with photos! But we had a great time hiking in the desert with @SteveR and Jo. Followed by a great time with @Ugly and kids in Boulder! Followed by a great time hiking with our Oregon friends! And we also caught up with @desertvic at dinner at the Outfitters. Two very busy weeks!
